INVENTOR A-r'ronusv MECHANICAL MOVEMENT.

Q Q To all whom it may concern." a V Be it known that LJOHN H. TAYLOR, .acitizen of the United States, residing at Pittsfield, in the county'of Berkshire and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Mechanical Movements," of which the following is a specification. I i I This invention relates to newand novel mechanicalmovements. a 1 The primary object of the invention is the production of a movementby means of which a single rotating shaft may be caused to rotate a plurality of shafts withoutthe employment of gears or cranks it being possi'ble to locate the shafts at any desired point relative to the driving shaft, and to operate them in any number. Y

Another object of the invention is to-pro vide a movement of the character set forth which may be operated by a" minimum amount of power and will be practically noiseless in its operation.

A further'object is the provision ofa device of the above type which is of simple construction and operation and is constructed in a manner to permit of its being easily taken apart for purposes of cleaning and repairing. 1 1

With the above and other the invention consists of a bearing block provided with. a slide bearing, said bearing "block beingalso provided with a floating member having a channel therein arranged at right angles to the bearing of the said block, an 'operatingblock movable within said floating member and sliding bearing;- 1 an operating shaft provided with an eccen tric for engagement with the 'crankope'rat' ing block. i

Referring to the drawings ini detail and more especiallv to Figs. 1' to .8. inclusive, the

invention'comprises a bearingblock 10 of anysuitable design or configuration; This block is designed to be'attached to a drill or other machine, a portion of a drill being illustrated at Hand being provided with an at'tachingsleeve 12. --The sleeve 12 is; split as at 13 and is designed to receive the portion to by'means of a 'clamp l l. i p

The-sleeve 12 'is formed-with a flange 15 of substantially the same a size" and shape as 11 of the drill brace and-to besecured th e- 'the' bearing block and is attached I thereto through the JIiedlUm "of screws-16. -The lower portionofthe sleeve is provided with anopening 17 for the purpose of providing a bearing for-an operating member'in' the form of theshaft18. This shaft has attached thereto acoupling'19,"bymeans of j which-it is connected to the'spindle 20 ofa single spindle drill." This spindle represents the driving member of the movement and while'shown asfia driving spindle of g the working within a hearing 22 formed in. the

d ill; it" may be any other driven-shaft as I willlater appe'arfi The shaft 18 is provided "with an eccentric 21 and has its lower end 100.

bearing block 10, the said bearing being pro vided with a bearing ball 23 on the bottom thereof for the purpose of reducing friction.

at 28 for the reception of the block-.24, which.

has a sliding fit therein. The channel 28 of the memberv 27 is arranged at right angles tothe slide bearing'25, so that the operation of the shaft 18 will causethe floating member 27. to have a reciprocatory movement within-the bearing 25, while theoperating block: 24 will have a reciprocatory androtary movement, the reciprocatory movement being: at:v right angles to the movement of the member 27 this operation beingtaccomplished through the I eccentric. engagement. of the shaft 18 with the blocki24and the floate ingmember 27. The block 24 is provided with! av plurality of openings 29 adapted to receive the offset portions 39 of the spindle receiving. cranks 3-1. While there is; shown in the drawings only two of such openings, it-isof. course apparent that any desired numberl-may be employed. The outer. end of they cranks 31 are formed as shown for the purposeof receiving the threaded ends v32'of the drills-33, the said drills being provided with a collar 34 to limit. their insertion withinthe cranks 31. The offset portions 30 ofthe cranksq3l have the. same throw asthe eccentric 21, sothat the easy operation of these cranks issure in either direction. The cam 21 and the cranks 31 are beveled as shown in order to-provide for. their close arrangement and the conse quent. economy of. space.

In.Fig..9 isillustratedlthe application of the movement tO'ELf grinding machine. In this figure there is'illustrated apedestali35, which hasslidably mountedthereon a floating. member 36, and in this member isthe operating: block 37, the said blockbeing dove-tailed within' the'member 36 asshown ati38.- The block 37' is operatedby. the eccentni'o shaft 39-, whiohcauses the saidlblockto have a reoiprocatory and rotary movement. The block 39 carries a.braoket40,-whichpros vides aabearing. fora shaft 41 upon which is mounted grin ding wheel'42. This wheel is. driven by a. belt 43 which engages a pulley 44 on the'shaft 41 on. the-pulley 45 upon; a shaft 46; The shaft- 40- is .mounted in one *end Of a, bell-erankleven 47, whichis pivoted at 48 uponthe pedestal 35. The wheel45 is driventhrough the medium of. a

,beltl 49f which1engagesa pulley 50 onthe 39' through the medium of suitable beveled gearing and the shaft 56, which shaft is shown in dotted lines. It is not thought necessary to illustratethis gearing as: any suitable beveled gearing; or other gearing may be utilized; for rotating the shaft 53 within the bearing 54.- v

It will be seen'that as theblock 37 is operated through the shaft 39*- it willibe given'a rotary and reciprocatory movement, which movement will cause the shaft 41 to move ina circle, and as the crank shaft. 53 is rotated the crank 55will-be always inyengagement: with thewheel 42 but: will. present a different. portion for grinding during itsrotation. By mounting-the driving-pulleysgfor'rotatingthewheel 42 upon the bell crank in the manner shown, the pulleys are always maintained in aproper working con- It is thought from the foregoing that'the construction, operation and uses of thedevice will be'plain and that it is therefore unnecessary to .enter. into a further detailed description thereof. The right is reserved to make such changesin the form and proportion of the invention as will fall within the scope of the claims hereto appended.
